Grove Mill Pinot Noir tasting notes

Pinot Noir grown in Marlborough has abundant flavour, texture and colour. The challenges for the Grove Mill winemakers are; to select the best clones, to determine the best sites for each clone, and to determine the winemaking techniques which best suit our fruit. Our aim is to make a wine of warmth, texture and completeness - with both breadth and harmony and a balance of sweet and savoury flavours. For our style, texture is paramount. Pinot must "feel" good .
Colour: Divine - vibrant, deep, very attractive
Bouquet: Chocolate, blackberry, black forest gateau
